Treatment of wrinkles with hyaluronic acid

Many times we do not want a strong aesthetic change. We just want to recover the skin we had years ago. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and the passage of time produce quality changes in our skin. Fortunately, it is increasingly easier to find improved treatments in surgery and aesthetic medicine, which help to fill wrinkles, restore lost volume and improve skin structure.

State-of-the-art anti-wrinkle treatments without surgery

When these effects are desired, we look for instant and long-lasting aesthetic results, such as those provided by hyaluronic acid infiltration with incorporated lidocaine, which is practically imperceptible. The patient no longer has to worry about the discomfort of the infiltration because the incorporation to normal life is immediate and the results can be seen instantly.

Its results, proven in more than 10 million treatments performed worldwide, are long-lasting, although not permanent, providing a natural beauty that does not affect facial expression or movements.

What does the treatment consist of?

A treatment with these infiltrations of hyaluronic acid with lidocaine incorporated lasts about 15-30 minutes. It is performed by injecting, with a fine needle, hyaluronic acid into the skin to fill wrinkles such as the nasolabial fold, formed between the nose and the corners of the mouth. It is also used to give greater elasticity to the wrinkles of the upper lip. These wrinkles are typical in people around the age of 40, when the upper lip contour loses volume.

After the injection, the patient can lead a completely normal life. After 21 days, optionally, a small touch-up may be performed. It is important to know that this is a treatment for medium and deep wrinkles, so we will discard hyaluronic acid infiltrations with lidocaine for frontal wrinkles or crow’s feet, being more indicated other products such as botulinum toxins or vitamins.

Hyaluronic acid is reabsorbed in a progressive and natural way and, consequently, it will be necessary to repeat the treatment to maintain the result. Hyaluronic acid infiltrations with lidocaine can be repeated whenever the patient wants and the doctor advises it.

It has no harmful effects, so that if the patient does not wish to repeat the treatment he/she will not see any negative consequences on his/her skin. On the other hand, if you decide to inject hyaluronic acid into your skin, you will see how it hydrates and improves its appearance.

Why do wrinkles form?

As we age, the quality of the skin changes. Collagen and elastic fibers decrease and the quality of the body’s hyaluronic acid is reduced. This decreases skin elasticity, increasing skin roughness and dryness. This is partly due to intrinsic factors that are difficult to change, such as the genetic code and the biological clock.

However, there are also extrinsic factors, lifestyle factors, that we can control, to some extent, to reduce skin aging. While it is impossible to turn back the hands of time, we can restore the skin’s moisture balance, improve skin structure and elasticity, or fill wrinkles and folds by restoring facial volume.

What is hyaluronic acid?

It is one of nature’s most versatile and fascinating substances. It is found in our body and in most living organisms. It has many functions, from providing elasticity to the skin to lubricating joints. Hyaluronic acid binds large amounts of water.

In its natural form in the body, hyaluronic acid lasts only a few days. Therefore, its stabilization process results in minimal modification but long-lasting aesthetic results. In addition, its biosynthetic production makes pre-testing for allergies and rejection unnecessary.

One of the commercial versions of this product is a crystalline purity gel that we inject into the skin in small amounts to restore its volume and structure.
